Formerly a British outpost and now reunited with the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong has had an interesting history that unfolds on its streets. Start your small-group walking tour at Central, the commercial and finance center of Hong Kong. Your guide will recount the history behind the area's major landmarks, including the Legislative Council Building, the Cenotaph and Statue Square. Continue along to the Sheung Wan district and take the Sun-Yat Sen historical trail to gain insight into the life of the founding father of China.

Then visit Possession Point, the area where the British took hold of Hong Kong in 1841. Make your way back to Central and see the buildings that comprise the city's administration center, including the Central police station and Victorian Prison Compound, Hong Kong's first prison.

Stop by the Fringe Club, a low-rise brick and stucco building, renowned for displaying the work of young emerging artists and serving as a hub for contemporary art. Amble down the granite Duddell Street Steps and pass by Hong Kong's only remaining gas lamps as you arrive at the Court of Final Appeal Building. Then visit St. John's Cathedral, the oldest Anglican church in Asia.

Walk to Hong Kong Park to see Edward Youde Aviary, home to more than 800 birds representing some 90 different species. Stop by the Flagstaff House to admire the British architecture and view the impressive display of antique tea ware inside.

Head to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center on the Wan Chai waterfront, famous for being the location where the 1997 Hong Kong handover ceremony took place. See the Forever Blooming Bauhinia Sculpture, a gift from the People's Republic of China to celebrate the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
